Can they protect our water?
Of course not.
Do they say they can?
Of course they do.
The story is as old as mankind. It’s called “lying.” I have no idea why people would pretend that they can protect that which they are incapable of protecting. I guess they want to protect themselves from being called “inept.”
Here’s a story from NPR’s “Living on Earth,” from today, Feb. 20, 2009:
“…recently two scientific studies concluded there were no adverse health effects from drinking Washington DC’s tap water, even though it contained the highest level of lead ever recorded in the U.S.”

How many times do people have to see or hear that same kind of story over and over to finally realize that there is no adequate protection from health hazards once you start polluting your water and pretending you “have it under control?”
Apparently some people never get it.
Don’t let those people lead you into the false temptation of some material gain, just because they “say it’s safe.”
To paraphrase Upton Sinclair:
“It’s amazing how difficult it is for a man to understand something if he is promised a small fortune not to understand it.”
